Tax rates added manually by the entity have `is_external`=`false` and can only be used in receipt line items. Tax rates fetched from accounting systems have `is_external`=`true`. These tax rates can be attached to line items in payables and receivables if these documents need to be synchronized from Monite into accounting systems. **Note:** Tax rates returned from this endpoint are different from [`/custom_vat_rates`](https://docs.monite.com/api/custom-vat-rates/post-custom-vat-rates) and [`/vat_rates`](https://docs.monite.com/api/vat-rates/get-vat-rates) which are used in [accounts receivable](https://docs.monite.com/accounts-receivable/index) Reference: https://docs.monite.com/api/accounting-tax-rates/get-accounting-tax-rates ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer `, where token is your auth token. ## Servers - `https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1` (sandbox, default) - `https://api.monite.com/v1` (eu_production) - `https://us.api.monite.com/v1` (na_production) ## Request ### Query parameters - `order` (enum, optional) — Sort order (ascending by default). Typically used together with the `sort` parameter. - Allowed values: `asc`, `desc` - `limit` (integer, optional, default: 250) — The number of items (0 .. 250) to return in a single page of the response. Default is 100. The response may contain fewer items if it is the last or only page. When using pagination with a non-default `limit`, you must provide the `limit` value alongside `pagination_token` in all subsequent pagination requests. Unlike other query parameters, `limit` is not inferred from `pagination_token`. - `pagination_token` (string, optional) — A pagination token obtained from a previous call to this endpoint. Use it to get the next or previous page of results for your initial query. If `pagination_token` is specified, all other query parameters except `limit` are ignored and inferred from the initial query. If not specified, the first page of results will be returned. - `sort` ("name", optional) — The field to sort the results by. Typically used together with the `order` parameter. - `is_external` (boolean, optional) — Filter by external/internal tax rates ### Headers - `x-monite-version` (string, required) - `x-monite-entity-id` (string, required) — The ID of the entity that owns the requested resource. ## Response ### 200 Successful Response - `data` (list of AccountingTaxRateResponse, required) - `next_pagination_token` (string, optional) - `prev_pagination_token` (string, optional) ## Errors ### 400 Get Accounting Tax Rates Request Bad Request Error Bad Request - `error` (ErrorSchema, required) ### 401 Get Accounting Tax Rates Request Unauthorized Error The `Authorization` header is missing or contains an invalid or expired access token. See [Authentication](https://docs.monite.com/api/concepts/authentication) to learn how to authenticate API calls. - `error` (ErrorSchema, required) ### 403 Get Accounting Tax Rates Request Forbidden Error The specified access token does not have permissions to perform this operation. - `error` (ErrorSchema, required) ### 422 Get Accounting Tax Rates Request Unprocessable Entity Error Validation Error - `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional) ### 429 Get Accounting Tax Rates Request Too Many Requests Error API rate limit has been exceeded. Check the response headers for the rate limit information. - `any` ## Types ### AccountingTaxRateResponse - `id` (string, required) — A unique Monite-generated ID assigned to this tax rate. You can use this ID as the value of the `accounting_tax_rate_id` field in line items of payables, receivables, and receipts. - `created_at` (datetime, required) — UTC date and time when this tax rate was created in Monite. Timestamps follow the ISO 8601 format. - `updated_at` (datetime, required) — UTC date and time when this tax rate was last updated in Monite. - `code` (string, optional) — The reference code of the tax rate. - `components` (list of TaxComponentResponse, optional) — An array of tax components. - `description` (string, optional) — An arbitrary description of the tax rate. - `effective_tax_rate` (integer, optional) — The effective tax rate value as the percentage multiplied by 100. For example, 12.5% is represented as 1250. For manually created tax rates (`is_external`=`false`), this is the tax rate value defined by the user. For tax rates fetched from accounting systems (`is_external`=`true`), the effective tax rate is calculated based on the `components`. * In case of QuickBooks, `effective_tax_rate` is the same as `total_tax_rate` and is the sum of all tax components. * In case of Xero, the effective rate can be higher than the sum total. This happens in the _compounded_ tax rate scenarios, where multiple taxes are applied in a sequence and later taxes are applied to amounts that already include earlier taxes. - `is_external` (boolean, optional, default: false) — `true` if this tax rate was fetched from the connected accounting system, or `false` if it was created manually by the entity. - `name` (string, optional) — The display name of the tax rate. - `status` (string, optional) - `total_tax_rate` (integer, optional) — Used only in tax rates fetched from accounting systems (`is_external`=`true`). Specifies the total (not compounded) tax rate value as the sum of all components. The value is the percentage multiplied by 100. For example, 12.5% is represented as 1250. For QuickBoooks, `total_tax_rate` is the same as `effective_tax_rate`. ### ErrorSchema - `message` (string, required) ### ValidationError - `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItem, required) - `msg` (string, required) - `type` (string, required) ### TaxComponentResponse - `is_compound` (boolean, optional) — A flag to indicate with the tax is calculated using the principle of compounding. - `name` (string, optional) - `rate` (integer, optional) — Component tax rate as a percentage multiplied by 100. For example, 12.5% is represented as 1250. ### ValidationErrorLocItem ## Examples **Response** ```json { "data": [ { "id": "id", "created_at": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z", "updated_at": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z", "code": "code", "components": [ { "is_compound": true, "name": "name", "rate": 1 } ], "description": "description", "effective_tax_rate": 1, "is_external": true, "name": "name", "status": "status", "total_tax_rate": 1 } ], "next_pagination_token": "next_pagination_token", "prev_pagination_token": "prev_pagination_token" } ``` **SDK Code** ```python import requests url = "https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates" headers = { "x-monite-version": "2024-05-25", "x-monite-entity-id": "9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4", "Authorization": "Bearer " } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript const url = 'https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates'; const options = { method: 'GET', headers: { 'x-monite-version': '2024-05-25', 'x-monite-entity-id': '9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4', Authorization: 'Bearer ' } }; try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } ``` ```go package main import ( "fmt" "net/http" "io" ) func main() { url := "https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates" req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil) req.Header.Add("x-monite-version", "2024-05-25") req.Header.Add("x-monite-entity-id", "9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4") req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer ") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(res) fmt.Println(string(body)) } ``` ```ruby require 'uri' require 'net/http' url = URI("https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url) request["x-monite-version"] = '2024-05-25' request["x-monite-entity-id"] = '9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4' request["Authorization"] = 'Bearer ' response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` ```java import com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpResponse; import com.mashape.unirest.http.Unirest; HttpResponse response = Unirest.get("https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates") .header("x-monite-version", "2024-05-25") .header("x-monite-entity-id", "9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4") .header("Authorization", "Bearer ") .asString(); ``` ```php request('GET', 'https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates', [ 'headers' => [ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ', 'x-monite-entity-id' => '9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4', 'x-monite-version' => '2024-05-25', ], ]); echo $response->getBody(); ``` ```csharp using RestSharp; var client = new RestClient("https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates"); var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET); request.AddHeader("x-monite-version", "2024-05-25"); request.AddHeader("x-monite-entity-id", "9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4"); request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "); IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); ``` ```swift import Foundation let headers = [ "x-monite-version": "2024-05-25", "x-monite-entity-id": "9d2b4c8f-2087-4738-ba91-7359683c49a4", "Authorization": "Bearer " ] let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/accounting_tax_rates")! as URL, cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: 10.0) request.httpMethod = "GET" request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers let session = URLSession.shared let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in if (error != nil) { print(error as Any) } else { let httpResponse = response as?
